Notes
Feel free to customize this soup with any veggies you have on hand, use rice or farro instead of pasta or feel free to add in meat if you’d like!GLUTEN-FREE: Use gluten-free pasta or another grain. I like to use rice or farro – if you use rice or farro, add it in with beans and tomatoes. VEGAN: Omit Parmesan cheese or use vegan cheese.
